CHICAGO Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced Monday he is accepting bids for the James R. Thompson Center in downtown Chicago. The request for proposals for the 17-story, glass building thrilled some while worrying others.
The Loop building on the 100 block of West Randolph Street is in need of millions of dollars of repairs, and has been designated as one of the most endangered historic buildings by Landmarks Illinois for the past three years. Government officials and the Illinois Department of Central Management Services have been working towards selling the property for years but disputes about how much if any of the original architecture to keep and its sales price have kept the mixed-use building in limbo.
